For carpet here I am led to believe that the Tamiya M grips fitted front and rear work well. The front tyres need to be used and the new ones go on the rear. Inserts are the Tamiya firm black foam.

The best solution would be to ask the fast guy's at your local track what they run and how they setup the suspension on there mini's.
